As someone who really likes the look of the Gerat anyway, and loves your modelling work, this combined with it being a huge kit is a heck of a combo! Looking forward to seeing how this goes!
When you mentioned something big in the last video, I was betting it'll be propably 1:16 model. But this, this is way more impressive even. I'm super curious how you balance painting such huge model with your attention to detail.
You've probably been asked to do this a bajillion times already, but I'd *love* to see you tackle a Warhammer tank kit, while applying all the cool superdetailed modelling tricks and such! I think it'd turn out beautifully. Love your work!
There is a wartime photo of a Mosquito that had flown through a fireball burning off most of the paint to reveal the wood underneath. Now that would look awesome
Thay did a version of this with the rail road cradles for each end so think that is where that ‘travel mode’ comes on. As that would raise the tracks once connected up to a train.
I had seen this kit on the shelf's and pondered weather to grab one . I figured it would not be too big for the model shelf. After seeing your build I think I will pass on it ! I'll stick with the Hobbyboss 1/72 Dora ( yeh ,right ). Your builds are perfect as always my friend ! Cheers.
That's not a build. It's an obstacle course. Well done, Martin. A brutal beast of a kit. About those weird welds on the lower hull. They're called plug welds. From a comment on the Battleship New Jersey channel: "The welded up holes are called plug welds, they're actually pretty common in extremely high stress applications as not even a modern weld on modern steel is always strong enough to resist high torsion or shear loadings, which plug welds can significantly improve." Cheers.
I made a movie in Slovakia called “Behind Enemy Lines” in 2000, worked with some great Slovak modellers - you, my friend are absolutely world-class❤ congratulations on your amazing work 🇸🇰
If you see this, THANK YOU…. I am currently building a 72 x 40 wall map of the world from a company called “enjoy the wood.” The map is cool and i am using little pylons I cut out of wood. I was worried about how to sand all of them down and your tip about putting the wheels on a drill bit worked!!! It turned like a 3 hour sanding job into about 30-35 minutes. I’ll try to post a video in a while when it’s done and I’ll give you thanks again and credit for the sanding tip!! Haha. Wahoooooo🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I feel this at 14:50. I fill gaps and paint little details only to cover them up completely. Nobody will ever look or if they did, notice, but *I* would know and every time I looked at the model, it would eat at me, that gaping line swallowing my attention, destroying everything the model could have been….so I cover them up.
I started modeling at the beginning of last year and watching your videos has made the quality of my builds skyrocket. Love the videos and appreciate the work and dedication you have for the craft! 😎
That remark about Blitzkrieg hits home, I too was about 12 when I first played the game and saw it. You took the gun, pressed Y, then aimed at the Soviet held village at the bottom of the map and the next thing that happened was that everything and everybody was killed on your 14 inch monitor XD. It could fire only one shot, then needed to be resupplied. P.S Amazing progress! Now I have to get one myself! XD
Hello Uncle Nightshift, Can you make some videos about tutorials/techniques for weathering and what tools and brushes you use and how do you keep it in good shape please? I've devoured all your videos and my modelling skills are improving but i'm also spending a lot of money in the hobby hahaha Cheers from France
I've just started working on a 1/43.5 scale model of one of the few guns even bigger than this - Schwerer Gustav. It is only after I finished 3D printing all the parts for the gun did I realise the completed model won't fit on my current workbench - the construction could be interesting!
I think the mistake made by Trumpeter with labelling the lowered hull as “travelling mode” could be them getting confused with ground travel mode which was definitely the jacked up suspension and the rail travel mode where the suspension was raised up to provide clearance as instead of being put on a flatbed they had their own custom wagons that had them sit quite low down
Great looking build! I've been binging on your videos daily and re-watching the same ones multiple times. Your amazing work inspired me to take a break from aircraft modeling and start building tanks. I've learned so much from your techniques, thank you!
Impressive. Imagine if someone came up with the two rail car carriers? The thing would be at least a meter long. Gonna have to try the thinned putty trick for cast steel look. Probably on my KV-1, that is awaiting completion.
this reminds me of that Soviet 2a3 Kondensator you teased a couple years back. Please build it I would love to see you scratch build little all the wires on that tank,
Another excellent build! Martin, there's an exhibition in our town this May, and we would like you to be a guest there. Where can I send you some details, so we can speak?
How would you feel about building a more modern model kit? Such as a hillbilly truck, or a Challenger tank. I know I'd love to see a Iraq war based diorama from you
Hey Nightshift! I love your videos. I have a modelling question for you. Whenever I paint models, usually with a brush, I get little particles of dust or parts of bristles or other crud stuck underneath the paint. Any tips on how to prevent this?
I've found Eduard photo etch to be way too fiddly. I just picked up the 1/700 Flyhawk DKM Scharnhorst 1943 Deluxe kit and I am looking forward to seeing how the Flyhawk photo etch is to work with. That is a monster of a kit! The biggest model I have worked on is the Trumpeter 1/350 HMS Hood. The photo etch killed the kit for me and zapped all my enjoyment from it.
Pretty sure they mean the wheels are up during rail transport when it's on those cars that hold it. firing mode the tracks are used to aim (traverse). So I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But you glued your suspension on in the wrong position. Look up the rail transport system.
Great! You're back Uncle. Fantastic modelling. Love the way you sand, fill and surface your projects, super inspiring for us mere modelling mortals. Canit wait to see the painting.
Your skill is very impressive especially like your dioramas, where you build walls etc. Learned so much, when I modeled wish I'd known some of the thinks you do, outstanding!
You can use "diluant cellulosique" instead of Tamiya cement , it makes the same job with the putty for 20time or 30time less expansive . Onyx 7,55€ le litre sur Amazon
You should actually start building ships, I have like 4 ships and if I’m being honest, they look like the same size of the géret if not maybe even bigger!
Absolutely loved this built, Have you ever used your “basic modelling skills” on a Warhammer or other fantasy armoured vehicle? Or a true classic like Leonardo’s “tank”?
100% worth the wait! This is an absolute unit of a kit, I can see why it took a while to build, it looks great. This would turn into a monster of a diorama, can’t wait!
Nice. That's definitely a big boy. Currently building a T'au Storm Surge for my 40k army. My sons were all griping at me because they thought it wasn't fair for them to field their knights when they played me because they generally won. Personally it's a cool model with a LOT of room for personalizing. And I was out of WW2 models for my Bolt Action armies. Yay shipping delays or outright lost/stolen in transit.
I find it quite funny how this model alone is as big as my biggest diorama 🗿
Anyway the level of details and realism is already incredible 🔥
If he does a diorama of this I'd have to watch it thrice just to believe he did it.
Hi
I always feel threatened in a way when he shows his "very bad 16 year old kits"...
Still ready every Friday for the new video! 😁 It just keeps getting better and better :)
Firstly, that would look simply beautiful in a big diorama on the steppes!
Secondly, I have a suggestion for, perhaps a scratch build project…

@@captainramius5047 that looks cool, but a retro moon rocket build has to be the tintin one, sorry! xD
@@cravinghibiscus7901 Fair enough, But I think the BIS one is more practical, despite being more than 40 foot tall
It's a good day when Uncle Nightshift drops a video!

No words, awesome. Friday best moment on the week. Thanks for your work and vids
i never thought that uncle nightshift would buy this monstrosity!, good luck on this one man!

Would love to see him do a Leman Russ or, even better, a Basilisk
As mentioned, it truly is three entire kits rolled into one. I am really looking forward to the coming steps on this one!
Build a plane kit. It would be awesome!
Only if he weathers it like he does tank models. Mud caked around the wheels, copious amounts of Grease, and tons of weathering.
There is a wartime photo of a Mosquito that had flown through a fireball burning off most of the paint to reveal the wood underneath. Now that would look awesome
*_N O !_*
But in all seriousness, he’s stated that he doesn’t want to because it’s not his style.
no
Honestly, I build more planes than anything, though I obviously love vehicles, figures, and ships. A Night Shift aircraft would be brilliant!
Killer job, mah friend!
When I first saw the thumbnail I thought you were doing a WH40K model.
And holy crap how have I never heard of these things before?
Oh my life!!!! Just stunning Martin!!! The kit looks wonderful, the work you put in to it superb and the quality of the finish awesome!!👏👏👏👏👏👏
super cool! I'm looking forward to the painting and weathering post.
This thing reminds me of my Imperial Gaurd Baneblade i assembled in scale. I used your armor texturing guide to make it apear more realistic
Happy New Year Buddy and thanks for the awesome video and model.
Beautiful, detail, and details. Great job
Thay did a version of this with the rail road cradles for each end so think that is where that ‘travel mode’ comes on. As that would raise the tracks once connected up to a train.
Awesome build!
I had the dragon version of this kit glad I traded it for a 48 scale full interior tiger takom kit lol looks great and it’s Yuge cheers Martin
Always a joy to watch. Thanks.
Looks incredible already, can’t wait to see it with paint on.
“My friends” never gets old 😂

Как же это круто! Наконец-то мы дождались тебя!!!
Happy New Year for you to, i got this beast also in my stash. but i also bougt the pz4 based ammo crane carrier as seen on one of your pictures.
I saw one of these in a now-defunct hobby store over a decade ago and didn't pick it up. One of my biggest hobby regrets.

Just got one from EBAY...i will enjoy this video build
I would love to see you make like more modern stuff
This is an awesome kit! I built it a few years ago.
Ive been wanting to build one of those. Ive put together a 80cm Dora before but this guy just has some real character in its design
Dora must be awesome in 1/72nd scale! I guess it's far too large in 1/35 :D
so awesome
Great looking build! I've been binging on your videos daily and re-watching the same ones multiple times. Your amazing work inspired me to take a break from aircraft modeling and start building tanks. I've learned so much from your techniques, thank you!
This thing is awesome.
A Panzer 3M painted to the invasion of Malta would be cool
Imagine looking through your binoculars and seeing one of these slowly creeping towards you at 4 miles per hour.
Very nice.
I can't even imagine how much it all cost :D
I love your channel. You are definitely one of the best. I was wondering if you can build an abrham or a m60a1 desert storm tanks
Definitely a heavy build lol Cheers 🥂
Impressive. Imagine if someone came up with the two rail car carriers? The thing would be at least a meter long. Gonna have to try the thinned putty trick for cast steel look. Probably on my KV-1, that is awaiting completion.
Wow this is crazy
Ahh...a fellow Blitzkrieg enjoyer, i also really liked that game.
Just wow...nuff said ..😀😀😀
this reminds me of that Soviet 2a3 Kondensator you teased a couple years back. Please build it I would love to see you scratch build little all the wires on that tank,
Ah, the comforting joy that is a new Night Shift video, it's Friday night, and time to relaaaaaaxx...
Ohh I'm so stealing that drill trick xD
Happy New Year, Martin! That's some serious styrene you got there, muh friend! Looks awesome!
A W E S O M E
As I’ve said before you’ve inspired me so much!
I love Blitzkrieg. I play it all the time. Too bad the forums are all dead, because I can't figure out how to make custom missions.
Awesome
Happy New Year, Master. And thanks for bringing this Beast (tired of just looking at the work...)
My life had lost all meaning these past few weeks, now that Uncle is back, everythibg is as it should be again!
Same
I like how the wheels-up for travelling error implies the mortar slid along on its belly like an otter in the snow
Another excellent build!
Martin, there's an exhibition in our town this May, and we would like you to be a guest there. Where can I send you some details, so we can speak?
Yo this is awesome
1/35 Apache by Snowman or MENG would be awesome for your next project

YESS this looks like an AWESOME project, can't wait for how this one will turn out
Finally a new video from Martin. I missed it.
Would your trick gluing the metal punched rivets w/ Mr Cement S onto plastic also work attaching small PE to plastic?

Super glue also dried in an instant with bicarbonate less expensive trick😜
You should try for the longest model a make a Davy Crockett gun, also known as the Atomic Anny
You should actually start building ships, I have like 4 ships and if I’m being honest, they look like the same size of the géret if not maybe even bigger!
Lol! I'm currently building its Dragon counterpart, haha

When you're ready, join us in the 1/35 Leopold club.
Those kit always in my wishlist. The reason i didn't but it yet cus dont know how big it is. The biggest kit in my collection is meng t-10 1/32
What is your panther mat ? It looks great !
Nice. That's definitely a big boy. Currently building a T'au Storm Surge for my 40k army.

Let's goo new vid I have been waiting for it
I would love to see your take on a 40k tanks, maybe a baneblade or the new rogal dorn. A "realistic" take on them would be fantastic 😁
Why does everybody go for the bane-blade?
I wanna see him make a Land Raider!
Lucky you did not buy the other version of this that includes the railed transporter! That IS huge.
